A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:
The First-Year Student Outreach Project (FYSOP) offers incoming Boston University students a unique opportunity to get settled in their new community by performing a week of community service before classes begin. A focus on the environment is one of the service options available to applicants of the program.
sustainability@BU currently promotes the outreach campaign “Join the Challenge” through carbonrally.com. Each month is paired with a sustainable initiative to encourage students to compete within their school or college to reduce their carbon footprint. Past initiatives have included: “Bring your own mug”, “Think before you print”, “Turn off the lights”, etc. Each month’s winning team is presented with a sustainable reward for their efforts in reducing their carbon footprint.
